Itinerary

Day 1: Rishikesh – Lohajung

Your adventure will kick off from Rishikesh, where our transport manager will meet you at ISBT Rishikesh at 6:15 AM. From there, you’ll be driven to Lohajung, a charming village nestled in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, approximately 250 kilometers from Rishikesh. The drive to Lohajung, lasting about 10 to 11 hours, will be in a comfortable vehicle provided by Trekup India, such as a Bolero, Tata Sumo, or traveler. Upon arrival, you’ll settle into your guesthouse accommodations. As you embark on the drive from Rishikesh, you’ll be treated to stunning mountain roads with occasional views of the majestic Garhwal Himalayas on clear days. The journey offers a serene landscape, with the River Ganga flowing alongside you. Along the way, you’ll encounter three significant confluences: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karanprayag. At Devprayag, the Alakananda River merges with the Bhagirathi River, creating striking teal and turquoise colors. You’ll also pass through the town of Srinagar before reaching Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini River joins the Alakananda River. Finally, about 33 kilometers beyond Rudraprayag, lies Karanprayag, where the Pindar River meets the Alakananda River.

Day2: Lohajung – Bekaltal

We are trekking towards Bekaltal on the first day of our trek. After breakfast, we will begin our hike. The trail is about 4-5 kilometres long and passes through spectacular mixed oak and pine forests. We will come across the stunning Kail valley and Pindari Rivers as we trek forward and ascend higher. We’ll rest for a while at Begum, a spot with spectacular views of Navali Bugyal, after crossing the stream bridge. We arrive in Bekaltal after a 4-5 hour trek. We’ll eat a balanced lunch until we arrive in Bekaltal. We can visit the surrounding areas after lunch and drink in the stunning scenery. We’ll eat dinner at 7 p.m. in the evening. Overnight stays will be at camps near Khopdaliya, a stunning gleaming lake.

Day3: Bekaltal – Brahmatal

Early mornings in the mountains are ideal for soaking up as much of Mother Nature’s charm as possible. The sound of birds chirping, the beautiful dawn, and the rushing rivers are unmistakable. The trail we’ll be on today won’t be almost as challenging as the one we’ll be on tomorrow. We will begin trekking towards Khabelkal after breakfast; the trail will take us through a thick oak forest and will take us approximately 3-4 hours to finish. Today’s overnight stop will be at open-air camps.

Day4: Brahmatal – Brahmatal Peak – Daldum Trek

Today is the fourth day of our exciting journey, and today’s trek is very long but gorgeous, taking up to seven hours to complete. To get to Brahmatal, the trail will take us through various locations such as Chota and Bada Jhandidar. On the hike, you will note that the trail is a little longer than it was in the beginning. It will be a steep climb for the last two hours of the trek to reach the top of Brahmatal trek. Reaching the summit of Brahmatal on your own gives you a feeling of accomplishment. After spending some time there, we’ll go on to our campsite, Daldum, which is about 3 hours away from the summit. Camps can be used for overnight stays.

Day5: Daldum – LohajungTrek

Today is the last day of our adventure trek, and after breakfast, we’ll return to Lohajung and say our goodbyes to Daldum. We will arrive in Lohajung in approximately 2-3 hours. Camps can be used for overnight stays.

  • It is imperative that you see your physician if you are experiencing any kind of health issue.

Fitness :

As you climb to higher altitudes, the air grows thinner and less oxygen is present. The amount of oxygen in our blood is equivalent to the proportion of haemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen. At altitudes above around 2,100 metres (7,000 feet), the amount of oxygen carried by our blood starts to decrease. At the same time, the human body possesses both immediate and long-term adaptations to altitude that help it somewhat compensate for the shortage of oxygen.
